Business Blog Advice

Alan Meckler, CEO of JupiterMedia, got some coverage recently for using his blog to openly discuss down trends in the company’s stock.

Regardless of where you sit on the blogging fence, you have to admire the man’s honesty. Just look at the frank, anti-sugar-coating manner in which he opens the blog post:

“Seeing your stock price get walloped is not fun when you are CEO and also the largest stockholder. Even worse are the numerous phone calls and emails directed my way to further explain the results.”

Being open about your company’s downs won’t magically turn them into ups. But it will surely change the way people perceive your company … for the better.
